Disconnect from the electricity supply. 2 2. Remove all loose items, including food, store food in a cool place. 3. Gently lay the fridge on its back with the top held away from the floor by 5-8 cm (2-3 inches) of packing; OPERATION Before using Fresh food refrigeration Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). To obtain the best performance, do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour. Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry thoroughly. 4. Remove the feet (3). Setting the temperature 5. Remove bottom hinge (1). 7. Slide out the door from pin (G), unscrew the latter and then screw it down into the hinge provided on the opposite side, after having removed the small plugs which should then be fitted on the opposite side. The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated by a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and an ÒOFFÓ (O) position. Position 1 = minimum coldness 8. Refit the door and bottom hinge (1) on the opposite side. G 9. Refit the feet (3) on the opposite side. Position 6 = maximum coldness Turn the thermostat dial to the required position. The intermediate position is usually the most suitable (3-4). 10.Unscrew the handle. Refit it on the opposite side after having pierced the plugs with a punch. Cover the holes left open with the plugs contained in the documentation pack. The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature inside the refrigeration compartment depends on the following factors: Ð room temperature Ð how often the door is opened Do not cover the shelves with any protective material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which may obstruct the air circulation through them. To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are some more useful hints: Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & poultry or chicken): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the salad crispers. Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one or two days at the most. Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the bottom salad crispers. Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible. Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door. Ð how much food is stored Attention After completion of the door reversing operation, check that the door gasket adheres to the cabinet. If the ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in Winter), the gasket may not fit perfectly to the cabinet. In that case, wait for the natural fitting of the gasket or accelerate this process by heating up the part involved with a normal hairdryer on a low setting. 16 Ð position of the appliance Important During prolonged periods of abnormally hot weather, if the thermostat is set on too high a number, the cooling system may operate continuously and the fridge cooling plate may not defrost. Turning the knob to a lower number will cause the automatic defrosting to resume. PR220 Printed on recycled paper Normal Operating Sounds ¥ You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing at the rear, to the cooling plate/evaporator. ¥ When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round, and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the compressor. ¥ A thermostat controls the compressor, and you will hear a faint ÕclickÕ when the thermostat cuts in and out. 5 Positioning the door shelves Electrical connections The door shelves can be easily removed for cleaning. Gently ease the shelf in the directions shown. Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.

Cover the holes left open with the plugs contained in the documentation pack. The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature inside the refrigeration compartment depends on the following factors: Ð room temperature Ð how often the door is opened Do not cover the shelves with any protective material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which may obstruct the air circulation through them. To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are some more useful hints: Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & poultry or chicken): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the salad crispers. Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one or two days at the most. Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the bottom salad crispers. Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible. Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door. Ð how much food is stored Attention After completion of the door reversing operation, check that the door gasket adheres to the cabinet. If the ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in Winter), the gasket may not fit perfectly to the cabinet. In that case, wait for the natural fitting of the gasket or accelerate this process by heating up the part involved with a normal hairdryer on a low setting. 16 Ð position of the appliance Important During prolonged periods of abnormally hot weather, if the thermostat is set on too high a number, the cooling system may operate continuously and the fridge cooling plate may not defrost. Turning the knob to a lower number will cause the automatic defrosting to resume.
